The annual music video awards recognize the best Canadian music videos of the preceding year with $2,000 in grants for future productions and also hand out an audience award, a special achievement award and the Arthur Lipsett Award.

In February, organizers unveiled the top 20 best Canadian music videos of 2015, which were voted on by a jury of Canadian music, film and media professionals. The videos are judged on originality, creativity, style, innovation and effective execution.

The final winners will be chosen during a screening and presentation at TIFF Bell Lightbox on May 15.

Last year, Chad VanGaalen won the Prism Prize for his work on Timber Timbre’s animated Beat The Drum Slowly video.
